Regard to Admiral Luce's designation
delighted with Bar Harbor and its
Grand scenery.
BAR HARBoR, Aug. Is.

OAK IlAhBOh, aug. 10.
! Secretary Whitney arrived at Bar Harbor
last evening and was seen at his cottage by a
reporter. Upon being asked to state what
( he knew of the report that Rear Admiral
I Luce, commander in-chief of the North At
iantic squadron, had sent in his resignation
of the command of the fleet on account Of
having received the departments telegraphic
order criticising the Admirals action, he
and declined to be interviewed on the sub.
ject.
"Have you seen Admiral Luce's explana
ton in regard to the alleged statement sup.
posed to have been made by the admiral in
connection with your orders wherein the ad.
miral is quoted as using one of Shakespeare.

1t is absurd for anybody to believe that Luce
ever made use OF such an expression in the
manner as published in the papers. Admiral
Luce is too much of a gentleman and an off.
Ger to forget himself in such manner"
"Is there any truth in the report that Ad-
miral Luce will be detached here?'
To this question the secretary paid no at
teution, but said that the admiral was one OF
the smartest and most able naval officers Of
the old school in the country.
Il have been asked in Washington and
New York numerous times to confirm or de
ny the report that Admiral Luce had handed
in his application for detachment but have
always declined and therefore could not say
anything now

What have the vessels been doing here?'
asked the secretary.
When the reporter informed him that they
had been practising some regular drills and
manoeuvres with boats, etc., the secretary
expressed himself as pleased.
Mr.. Whitney, speaking OF the beautiful
surroundings of the pretty cottage where he
is stopping with Mrs. Whitney, said:
"This is the first time | have been here
and think it is lovely place."
| Rear Admiral Luce could not be seen at
the hotel where he is stopping. 1t was ex-
pected that Secretary Whitney would meet
Amrsl Luce today officially on board the
| flagship.
